The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

a quick-footed, open arena shooter where movement and creative customization drive the action.

What players say

Players say the servers are largely dead, so most time is spent with bots or friends. The movement and shooting feel clunky to some, but the game is praised as a fun, free arena shooter built by a small community. A minority criticize the lead developer and call the game unoptimized.
